She acted like they were her kids

LOS ANGELES (Gray News) – Police arrested a woman who tried to kidnapp two boys from two different McDonald’s this week.

It was a bold move caught on camera.

A McDonald’s security video shows a woman casually scooping up a 4-year-old boy on Tuesday and calmly walking out of the restaurant with him.

The only problem was the boy wasn’t hers to take.

“The suspect attempted to enter a parked vehicle with the victim but was stopped by a witness,” the LAPD said on Youtube. “The suspect fled on foot from the area.”

A day later, the same thing happened again at another McDonald’s, just a few miles away.

“The suspect approached the victim, pulled his hand, and attempted to walk away with the victim. The victim was walking alongside a family member when the attempted kidnap occurred,” police said. “The suspect was stopped by a witness in the area and fled from the scene on foot.”

UPDATE: The suspect has been identified as Maralyn Ramos and arrested in the area of Agatha and San Pedro Street. She was booked for 207(A) PC-Kidnapping and her bail is $100,000. We appreciate the community’s help in spreading the word so quickly.

This trip, the first of two President Donald Trump is expected to make to Japan in the next six weeks, is more of a social call meant to highlight the alliance between Japan and the United States and the friendship between their leaders.
